Re: [IRCA] ODDITY ON 1390 and WJDI

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ken,

I asked George this question a while back and the furthest reception 
report that he can remember came from England.  I think WJDI had left 
the airwaves by 1997 (unless perhaps it was very early in the year) and 
I also don't believe WJDI ever operated on 1640.

I went through my archive of A*C*E bulletins (the now defunct pirate 
newsletter) and found a few MW pirate loggings by North American DXers 
on Christmas Eve, 1997, but they are all UNID on 1629, 1630 & 1689.7 
kHz.  I don't see anything logged that night on 1640-1641 kHz, FWIW.

73,
-Tim
